Outreach

On Feb 1, 2017 the team went to St Gabriel Catholic School in Cambridge to talk about energy, solar power, and Midnight Sun.

What we learned:

• Class was at the end of their energy unit; so we didn't need to talk about it that much
• Teaching aids were useful. We were asked not to bring the car due to the cold weather, but it would definitely be beneficial
• The presentation didn't start until 15 minutes after the alloted time, since they needed to set the students up in the room
• The teacher prepared the class by showing them the end of term video
• The students drew us pictures of "car designs". Quite the fun read; can be found in the outreach filing cabinet

• Alyssha should talk more

What we did:

• Small fair hosted solely by the school for their students. They had many booths set up for games and events
• Population was smaller than expected, and we didn't get too many opportunities to talk to people
• Most of the time, parents came by with their children to look - asking questions and looking at the car
• Car got hit with a basket ball. Ouch
• Made a couple of connections with parents and their relatives who work in sponsoring companies on the car. Told them to plug a good word for us.
